Ezekiel 12:13

Verse 13

13. My net also will I spread upon him The attempt to escape shall be a failure. The Babylonian king shall capture the fugitives and carry them to Chaldea, but the net in which they are taken is not Nebuchadnezzar’s, but Jehovah’s. These shrewd “captains” might have outwitted Nebuzaradan, but they could not evade the Almighty (Jeremiah 39:4-7; Hosea 7:12; Ezekiel 17:20; Ezekiel 32:3).

Yet shall he not see it This explicit prophecy, that his eyes should be put out, was literally fulfilled though Ezekiel himself does not record its fulfillment (2 Kings 25:7; Jeremiah 39:7; Jeremiah 52:11). “Ezekiel had no solicitude to make out the truth of his own predictions.” Cowles.
